The Temple of Diana in Mérida, Spain, is an ancient Roman temple that dates back to the late 1st century BCE. Located in the heart of Mérida, which was known as Emerita Augusta during the Roman period, the temple was likely dedicated to the cult of Emperor Augustus rather than the goddess Diana, as its name suggests. This well-preserved structure features Corinthian columns and stands on a rectangular base. It is a significant example of Roman provincial architecture and offers insight into the religious practices and urban development of one of the most important cities in Roman Hispania.
